Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 992 – The Faceless Statue

“I have a Thousand-Leaved Flower.”

“This Boundless Orb is great, I have an ancient sword here, are you interested in it?”

“Senior, I have three drops of Six Realms Liquid.”

The Crow-Wheel King of Law, Huo Wulong, and the others took turns to present their possessions.

“Qin Nan, this Boundless Orb is useful to me, I’ll try trading for it.” Sima Kong glanced at Qin Nan. After all, the Five Dragons Badge belonged to him.

“Why are you telling me? Just go for it.” Qin Nan snapped.

Although the four items that they had retrieved from the auction were extremely valuable, none of them really suited Qin Nan’s needs. As such, he would not mind his brother exchanging them for something more useful.

Sima Kong chuckled while scratching his head, before taking out the Reincarnation Flower.

The eyes of the Crow-Wheel King of Law, Huo Wulong, and the others flickered seeing the Reincarnation Flower, as they were a hundred percent sure who they were now.

“None of these are enough.” The Martial Monarch said calmly.

The Crow-Wheel King of Law and the White-Haired Wine Immortal frowned. Even though the Boundless Orb was incredibly rare, it was not worth it to offer more than what they had.

“Senior, I’ll add five more drops of the Six Realms Liquid!” Huo Wulong said while clenching his teeth.

The Boundless Orb was perfect for the Martial Art he was practicing.

“I’ll add another ancient scroll. I believe senior knows its value.” Sima Kong took out a scroll that was stained with seven drops of blue blood.

Huo Wulong was startled, as he did not expect Sima Kong would compete for it too.

“Sure, I’ll trade with you.” The Martial Monarch glanced at Sima Kong and nodded, causing the latter to wear a joyful look. With the Boundless Orb, he was one step closer to becoming the God of Thieves.

“You two, I don’t care who your father is, but you should pray that I don’t find out who you are. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay!”

Huo Wulong transmitted his voice to Qin Nan and Sima Kong in a cold tone.

He had been tricked at the auction, embarrassing himself in front of the crowd, and now the thing he desired had been taken away too. How could he not feel enraged?

“Martial Monarch Huo Ling has always been a legend, but I never expected his son to be this shameless. Trying to threaten us after losing a fair competition, aren’t you ashamed?” Sima Kong uttered a hollow laugh as he replied.

Huo Wulong’s face became dark, feeling the urge to attack at once.

However, he endured it in the end, as it was not the place to do so.

As for Qin Nan, he did not even bother looking at him.

Following this, the rest took turns to show their valuable items.

Qin Nan was amazed by the items, but was slightly disappointed too.

Even though the items were extraordinary, none of them were useful for him. He was only interested in those which were capable of improving his Martial Trees or improving his Monarch Arts.

“Hehe, here is a Faceless Statue that I obtained in the half-God region coincidentally. According to my observation, it contained a powerful intent inside it, which I believe is related to some kind of succession. Is anyone interested?”

The Crow-Wheel King of Law chuckled as he took out a half-zhang tall statue, which did not have a face.

Huo Wulong and the other Martial Monarch's son felt their hearts racing. It actually was in the hands of the Crow-Wheel King of Law!

“Damn, this thing!” Sima Kong was stunned.

“Mm? Do you know it?” As Qin Nan inspected the Faceless Statue with his left eye, he discovered a familiar aura, but could not explain why.

“The Faceless Statue is vast like the Netherworld, from the depths of misery arise the Nine Words! It’s highly possible that this Faceless Statue is related to the Nine Words Martial God from ten thousand years ago! Gasp, he surely is clueless about its value. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be trading it.” Sima Kong’s voice was filled with astonishment.

“The Nine Letters Martial God? The Nine Symbolic Words?” Qin Nan squinted.

He never thought that the Faceless Statue would be related to Gong Yang, who was the successor of the Nine Symbolic Words!

“Senior, I’ll offer a Jasper Flower and an ancient manual for it.” Huo Wulong said calmly.

The eyes of the Crow-Wheel King of Law flickered, who was about to accept the offer.

“I’ll trade the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng for the Faceless Statue.” Qin Nan said.

Although he had no idea where Gong Yang was now, he would try his best to acquire the Faceless Statue since he had stumbled into it.

“Oh?” The Crow-Wheel King of Law’s grudge against Qin Nan was relieved. He did not expect Qin Nan would offer the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, which was extremely useful to him!

“What do you mean?” Huo Wulong and the Martial Monarch's son were dumbfounded. Did he know the value of the Faceless Statue?

They only knew the truth about the Faceless Statue from a coincidence.

That being said, unlike Sima Kong, they had no idea the statue was related to the legendary Nine Words Martial God. Otherwise, even their fathers would be there for it.

“I’ll add a Yin Yang Reincarnation Pill, three Lightning Immortal Pills, and an Ancient Jade Badge! Senior, what do you think?” Huo Wulong exchanged glances with his friend before giving out a shocking offer.

It was definitely all they had for the time being!

The others were stunned, as they did not expect them to offer so much.

“I’ll add a stalk of the Icy Silkworm Wood and the Five Buddhas Orb!” Qin Nan immediately offered the remaining items he had acquired from the auction.

“Deal!” The Crow-Wheel King of Law handed Qin Nan the Faceless Statue without hesitation.

Everything Qin Nan had taken from the auction was what he had wanted all along.

“You!”

Huo Wulong and his friend were furious, as they could not help but watch the treasure fall into Qin Nan’s hands.

“Very well, you two have really impressed me! Once this is done, we will surely track you down!” Huo Wulong snapped.

Qin Nan and Sima Kong completely ignored their threats, which further infuriated them.

The exchange continued to take place.

Although Qin Nan and Sima Kong had gotten what they had come for, it was still interesting seeing all kinds of treasure being traded.

“It’s almost time.” Three hours later, the mysterious Martial Monarch said, “Let’s call it a day.”

He rose from his seat and unleashed a powerful aura, shattering the illusion of the Yellow Spring shop.

Everyone was teleported back to the Righteous Ancient City.

Dawn had already arrived, marking the start of another busy day for the Righteous Ancient City.

“Those three assholes must be so mad, HAHAHA. Qin Nan, now that it’s finished, what’s your plan next?” Sima Kong asked as they returned to their inn.

He could not wait to return to the place of succession now that he had claimed the Boundless Orb.

“I’m heading to the forbidden areas.” Qin Nan said after a slight ponder.

Although his time at the Righteous Ancient City had not really helped his cultivation, he was satisfied after helping Gong Yang and Sima Kong with their needs. Therefore, it was time for him to cultivate at the forbidden areas.

“Alright, it’s time to part ways then.” Sima Kong blinked before disappearing into the crowd.

Qin Nan smiled as he left the inn too, preparing to depart on his journey.

However, his footsteps came to a halt all of a sudden.

“Is that…”

His eyes were fixated on a strange pagoda on one of the stalls.

At that instant, a great clap of thunder could be heard.

Qin Nan never thought he’d bump into something unimaginable after catching a glimpse of something insignificant.
